SPONSORSHIP:
The Gomchen Sponsorship program is one way that we strive to ensure the very basis of Buddhist Philosophy. It is a very powerful way for anyone particularly for Buddhist students who want to demonstrate their gratitude to the Buddha, Bodhisattvas and who are continuously working for our benefit of sentient beings. Supporting the Gomchen Sangha would receive tremendous blessings and will help to accumulate good deeds which are very vital for the enlightenment.
The purpose of this sponsorship program aims to cover all basic necessities like fooding, lodging, clothing and basic needs for studying for all Gomchens during their stay at the Gonpa.
We currently have sponsorship for one-third of our Gomchens and still more need be supported. Support is very crucial for every Gomchen to pursue their practice, study and to dedicate to serve the sentient beings. Without this, there are big chances that every one of our Gomchen will not be able to be able to practice the Buddha Dharma effectively. Therefore a small support is very much necessary to support the livelihood of Gomchen. Such a sanctuary radiates positive energy and promotes peace, harmony, happiness and liberty throughout the entire universe.
BENEFITS OF SPONSORSHIP TO THE SPONSOR:
Your support will immensely benefit our Gomchen and help every one of them to pursue Dharma. The ripple effect for your support will be exponential and through your generosity support, our Gomchen will be able to practice without gist of worrisome and peacefully in the monastery.
